In what may be a case of too little, too late considering how much material is out there and the number of games, but the first promotional look at the Halo: Nightfall movie has arrived. Set to be released as a five part series on Xbox Live on November 11th, 2014 and serving as a lead-up to the new game out in December, the project has Ridley Scott as the executive producer with Sergio Memica-Gezzan writing and directing it.
Plot concept: Halo: Nightfall follows the origin story of legendary man hunter Jameson Locke (Mike Colter) and his team as they are caught in a horrific terrorist attack while investigating terrorist activity on the distant colony world of Sedra. Led by Locke, the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) agents are forced to coordinate with a Sedran commander with a remarkable history and deep-rooted mistrust of ONI. As the plot unravels, they’re drawn to an ancient, hellish artifact where they’re forced to fight for their survival, question everything, and ultimately choose between their loyalties and their lives.
